Artist's Comments

Picture of British Graffiti artist, Banksy's work off Oxford Street London.


He makes a very justified statement of what is happening in the UK today.

I originally took the picture without the CCTV cameras at the side..then thought that including them illustrates the statement:lol:

addendum- 22/05/2009 - just found ou that this is no more:( Westminster City Council condemned it as Graffitti and painted over it in April 2009 - sooo sadd:(t

Apparantly we have more surveillance in the UK than in the rest of Europe...and more so with road security cameras...frightening isn't it?

Very big brother/1984ish:lol:

hmmm very much so.
Like on average you're photographed 300 times a day... thats just not a nice thought.
I think the problem with Britain at the moment is that we are trying to follow other countries, we're not followers we're leaders. We were the first country to industrialise, we had the biggest Empire the world has ever known even within living memory, just about. And we seem to be ashamed, why?

So who are we trying to follow?...the U.S?

I know there that they have really low speed restrictions on the freeways...like 55mph...so they wouldn't need speed cameras.

Whether they have they same amount of security cameras per sq metre as we have here I don't know. And we are a small country.

Maybe my friend birthstone will tell me. I'll ask her.

Tell me do you have speed cameras on the freeways? Is the speed restriction still 55mph?

Also do you have alot of security cameras( as in the photo above to the right) in your shopping malls, supermarkets and public places?

I'm trying to work out whether the UK is the most security conscious country in Europe/the world:lol:

We have ..but not where I live,though
we have speed limit only in downtown but on highway..it's pretty high..it's about 70mph
We have security cameras everywhere,indeed..it feels like you have been watched.
In the US is pretty secure
